主谓一致

主谓一致是指谓语动词在人称和数上与主语一致，一般遵循三个原则，即语法一致原则、意义一致原则和就近一致原则。做题时还要保证时态及其他语法及词义的正确性。

1．语法一致原则

(1)当主语后面接由as well as,  accompanied by, including, in addition to, more than, no less than, rather than, with, together with等构成的词组时，其谓语动词的形式要依主语的单复数而定。在这样的句子里，这些词所引导的词组不影响主语自身的单复数形式，它们在句子里其实是状语。

①The leader and artist as well as some of our English teachers was given a chance to go abroad last year.

那位领导兼艺术家和我们的一些英语老师去年得到了一次出国的机会。

②My father, together with his workmates, has been to Beijing.

我父亲和他的同事们去过北京。

(2)由lots of, a lot of, a number of, plenty of等修饰的名词作主语时，谓语动词与所修饰的名词形式保持一致。

③A great number of students who were invited to the party were from my school.

④A great deal of water is polluted every year.

但quantities/amounts of修饰名词时，谓语动词的单复数取决于quantity和amount的单复数形式。

⑤Quantities of information are available on the Internet.

在网上可得到大量的信息。

(3)定语从句中的谓语动词的单复数由其修饰的名词的单复数形式来确定；如果定语从句修饰前面的整个句子，从句中的谓语动词用单数。

⑥Those who were praised  at the meeting would be sent to America for further study.

在这次会议上被表扬的人将被派到美国深造。

⑦He married Mary, which was very natural.

他娶了玛丽，这是很自然的事。

(4)倒装句、强调句中的主谓一致

a．倒装句中谓语动词的数与后面的主语保持一致，即谓语后面的主语是单数，动词用单数；谓语后面的主语是复数，动词用复数。

⑧A building stands in front of us.

→In front of us stands a building.

我们面前矗立着一栋楼。

⑨Rows of fruit trees were on either side.

→On either side were rows of fruit trees.

在每一边都有一排排的果树。

b．在强调句中，如果被强调的成分是原来句子的主语，引导词that(或who)后面的谓语与被强调的成分在人称和数上保持一致。

⑩I am a doctor.

→It is I who am a doctor.

我是一名医生。

⑪He is a doctor.

→It is he who is a doctor.

他是一名医生。

2．就近一致原则

(1)由or, either ... or ..., neither ... nor ..., not only ... but also ... , not ... but ... 等连接的并列主语，谓语动词常与最近的主语在人称和数上保持一致。

①Not only the students but also the teacher enjoys listening to the music of this kind.

不仅学生们而且这位老师也喜欢听这种音乐。

②Neither the children nor the mother knows anything about it.

孩子们和母亲都不知道这件事。

(2)在There be句型及Here开头的句子中，有两个或几个并列主语时，谓语动词的数通常和最邻近的主语保持一致。

③There is a pen, two knives and several books on the table.

桌子上有一支钢笔、两把小刀和几本书。

→There are two knives, a pen and several books on the table.

桌子上有两把小刀、一支钢笔和几本书。

3．意义一致原则

(1)and, both ... and ... 连接两个不同的主语，谓语动词用复数形式；但是如果由and连接的两个名词表示同一个人或物时，谓语动词须用单数形式。

①Her teacher and her friends are in the sitting room.

她的老师和朋友们都在客厅。

②The poet and writer has produced many works.

⑦What they need is money while what we need most are textbooks.

他们需要的是钱，而我们最需要的是教科书。

(4)含修饰语的名词作主语的特殊情况：

[谚语]坏事传千里。

误区分析

误区一　句子没有谓语动词或一个句子中出现多个谓语

(1)【误】The windows broken.

【正】The windows are/were broken.

[分析]　“窗户应为被打破”，故应用被动语态，如直接用过去分词broken，句子则缺少谓语成分。此处也可将broken看作过去分词转化的形容词作表语。

(2)【误】Today, the  number of people learn English is increasing rapidly in China.

【正】Today, the  number of people who learn English is increasing rapidly in China.

【正】Today, the  number of people learning English is increasing rapidly in China.

[分析]　一个句子中只能有一个谓语，如出现两个(或两个以上)的谓语，须将另外出现的动词改为非谓语动词形式或用从句进行表述。

误区二　中式英语

(1)【误】I very like listen music and every day I also will see some newspapers.

【正】I like listening to music very much and every day I read some newspapers as well. (习惯性动作用一般现在时)

[分析]　修饰动词like应用副词(短语)；like后应加动名词或不定式，而不能直接跟动词原形；“看报纸”，在英语中用read而不用see，此为习惯表达。

(2)【误】I don't know I should do what.

【正】I don't know what I should do.

[分析]　know后为宾语从句，what引导宾语从句且在从句中作宾语，引导词应放于从句句首，注意中英表达中语序的差异。

(3)【误】Our village has taken place great changes.

【误】Great changes have been taken place in our village.

【正】Great changes have taken place in our village.

[分析]　take place为不及物动词短语，主语应是“事”而非“人”，且不能用于被动语态。

[注意]　造成以上错误的原因一方面在于对动词的语法功能和五种基本句式掌握不牢固，另一方面则是由于不了解中英表达的差异，受汉语干扰过大，这两类错误是特别容易犯的错误，尤其是在写作中，应高度重视。总之，这些错误都是由于基础薄弱而致，所以平时应多记多背多分析，不断积累总结，才能厚积薄发。

误区三　动词时态的误用

(1)【误】She promised that she will not let out the plan to the press.

【正】She promised that she would not let out the plan to the press.

[分析]　在宾语从句中，主从句的时态要保持前后一致。本句主句是一般过去时，故从句也要用相应的过去将来时态。

(2)【误】To arrange for an appointment with us, please complete the reply slip and sent it back to us.

【正】To arrange for an appointment with us, please complete the reply slip and send it back to us.

[分析]　根据语境以及and可知，sent应与complete保持一致，故sent改为send。

(3)【误】By the time you will arrive in London, we will have been in Europe for two weeks.

【正】By the time you arrive in London, we will have been in Europe for two weeks.

[分析]　by the time后的时间状语从句一般用现在时表将来。

(4)【误】The detective fixed his sharp eyes on the box, wondering whether he saw it somewhere before.

【正】The detective fixed his sharp eyes on the box, wondering whether he had seen it somewhere before.

[分析]　分析语境可知，see的动作发生在“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时。

(5)【误】Nancy is not coming tonight. But she has promised!

【正】Nancy is not coming tonight. But she promised!

[分析]　根据语境“南希答应要来”可知，promise的动作发生在过去，与现在时间无关，故用一般过去时。

误区四　动词语态的误用

(1)【误】The book which had been lost returned to the library.

【正】The book which had been lost was returned to the library.

[分析]　return是及物动词，句子的主语The book与之构成被动关系，表示“被归还”，故returned前加was。

(2)【误】There's a feeling among a lot of people that music has been become too commercial in recent years.

【正】There's a feeling among a lot of people that music has become too commercial in recent years.

[分析]　become意为“变得，变成”，不及物动词不能使用被动语态。

[注意]　造成以上错误主要是因为对动词的时态和语态了解不够透彻，可从三方面入手：①翻译；②注意句中的动词是及物动词还是不及物动词；③注意其他提示信息，如主句的时态、时间状语、关键词等。当然要处理好此类问题还要系统全面地学习，应对此部分所讲内容认真学习，碰到错误，对照所讲知识找出错误根源，才能不断进步。

误区五　主谓一致中常见的误用

(1)【误】My dream school look like a big garden.

【正】My dream school looks like a big garden.

[分析]　主语My dream school是单数，故谓语动词也应该用单数形式。

(2)【误】Jeff is the only one of the journalists who were awarded.

【正】Jeff is the only one of the journalists who was awarded.

[分析]　本句中的中心词是the only one，因此定语从句中谓语动词的数需要根据the only one而定。

(3)【误】The teacher, as well as his students, are going to see the film this afternoon.

【正】The teacher, as well as his students, is going to see the film this afternoon.

[分析]　当主语后面接由as well as构成的词组时，其谓语动词的形式要依其前面主语的单复数而定，本句主语为The teacher。

(4)【误】Not only my parents but also I are good at dancing and singing.

【正】Not only my parents but also I am good at dancing and singing.

[分析]　not only ... but also ... 连接主语时，谓语遵循就近一致原则。

(5)【误】Among all my friends are a special one I'm most thankful to.

【正】Among all my friends is a special one I'm most thankful to.

[分析]　此句是倒装句，主语a special one是单数形式，故谓语动词也用单数形式。

[注意]　主谓一致的误用主要出现在三大原则的特殊情况中，如非谓语动词或从句作主语时、特殊名词特别是由特定连词连接的名词作主语时、就近原则与就远原则时，以及倒装句和定语从句中的特殊情况，因此除了知道基础语法的同时，还应加强留意特殊情况的积累、纠错。
